United States Patent 3,482,077 CIRCULAR MOVABLE AIR DISPERSION IMPLEMENTJacob L. Kleinman, Hotel Riverside Plaza, 253 W. 73rd St., New York,N.Y. 10023 Filed Nov. 24, 1967, Ser. No. 685,501 Int. Cl. Hb 1/00, 1/02,11/00 U.S. Cl. 219-370 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Thisinvention relates to the construction of air dispersion or ventilatingimplements in general, and more particularly to that of a movable type.

A primary object of this invention is to provide an air dispersion orventilating implement wherein the carrier for carrying the means fordispersion of air may be able to travel in a circular direction therebyincreasing its dispersion or ventilating action during operation.

- The above and other objects of my invention are attained by a novelconstruction which will be hereinafter described and illustrated in thedrawing in connection with a specific embodiment of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing in which such specific embodiment of myinvention is illustrated, and described in the annexed specification,wherein the accomplishment of the above and other objects of theinvention will be readily apparent and understood on reference to theherein, wherein:

FIG. 1 is a side view of the inner structure of the implement;

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the implement provided with heatproducing means, and with means for dispersion of such heat duringoperation of the implement;

FIG. 3 is a top-plan view taken along the line 33 of FIG. 1, showing themanner of supporting the heat producing means;

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the circular or elliptical means forurging the dispersion section into circular movement during theoperation of the implement;

FIG. 5 shows a view of a spring structure for guiding the movement ofthe dispersionsection;

FIG. 6 is a view showing dispersion action; and

FIG. 7 is a view taken along the line 77 of FIG. 2.

I am showing the several figures or views by way of example forillustrative purposes and for a better and clearer understanding of myinvention, and not for limitation purposes.

The size of the parts shown in the drawings herein, and the spacingtherebetween, being exaggerated for clarification purposes. The design,or size, or spacing between the parts is optional with the manufacturer.

The letter S indicates a stand or casing for supporting the generalstructure, M indicates the motor, H indicates the housing or holder, Cindicates the cam for traveling within the circular structure or tracks.

The motor M is of the conventional type and will be referred to onlywith respect to the herein invention.

The motor M is provided with an extension 6 cooperating with element 7for moving the cam C within the recess or tracks 8 and 9 for operablepurposes.

The holder H may be provided with an air-fan structure for ventilatingpurposes; but with this distinct variation; in an air-fan of theordinary type the structure may be so arranged as to move only sidewaysin either direction, but can not be made to move simultaneouslytherewith into a longitudinal direction, whereas in my present inventionthe fan-structure is movable in circular direction, which actuallyinclude horizontal and simultaneous longitudinal movements of thefan-structure, thus ventilating a larger area of space during operationaction of the implement.

In my present invention, the extension 6 of the motor M, is cooperatingwith the element 7, in a manner whereby when the head portion 11 of thecam C will travel, for example, within the recess or track 9, and willreach the spring member 12, it will urge such spring 12 out of itsnormal position into a location as indicated by the dotted line 15,until the head portion 11 will pass the spring member 12 and reach itsdestination at the end portion 16 of track 9; by this time the springmember 12 will assume its normal position; and when the head portion 11will resume its journey towards the opposite end 17, such spring 12 willblock the road to the track 9, and urge such head portion 11 to travelupon the track 8-; upon reaching the spring section 18 such head portion11 will move such spring 18 out of its normal position into a locationas indicated by the dotted line 19, and will pass such spring 18 untilit will reach its destination as indicated by numeral 17; at this timethe spring 18 will assume its normal position blocking the return of thehead 11 unto the track 8 but instead urging such head 11 unto the track9.

During the above explained operational action, the motor M will moveupwardly or downwardly in conjunction with movements of the head portion11 upon the tracks 8 and 9, thereby carrying the fan-structure in asomewhat circular direction, FIGS. 1 and 4.

It is clear that by rotating screw-element 2 into desired direction, thesection 21' may be raised to desired degree to provide sufiicientclearance not to hinder such circular movements during operation.

If desired, the fan-blades 21 may be removed and a heat producingelement, for example, a wire structure 22 comprising nickel alloy, orother suitable heat producing elements, may be connected to the housingor holder H for the purpose of dispersing heat.

Or, if desired, the fan-blades 21 may be carried by the housing H, andheat producing elements 22 may be secured to the outer net 23 located atthe front of the blades 21, so that blades 21 in combination with theheating element 22 may disperse heat in a circular direction over alarger area.

If desired, locking means, for example screw members 25 may be utilizedfor locking the springs 12 and/or 18 into desired positions.

The springs or net structure herein may be constructed of varioussuitable material, of round-shaped material or flat-shaped material, forexample spring 26 (FIG. 5).

The herein structure may be provided with a plurality of switch members27 and 28 for operating the fan-structure and the heat producing elementindividually, or one switch for simultaneous operation of fan and heatermay be arranged.

The above has been explained by way of example only and not forlimitation purposes. Various other suitable means may be utilized tobring about or perform the functions or accomplishments as hereinabovepointed out and explained.

From the above it is evident, that my present invention teaches anentirely new form of structure in the art of making ventilatingimplements; a structure which is unique in its ability to disperse airover a large area by means of being movable in a circular direction; andalthough I have shown certain preferred forms or illustrations in' orderto explain and describe the novelty of my invention, yet, by showingsuch structure, I do not, by any means, limit myself to thesestructures, nor to the terms used in describing same, as they are forillustrative purposes only. Various suggestions and changes of structuremay be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of this invention.

I claim:

1. A ventilating implement comprising a stand, a motor having a housingand a cam, said motor supported by said stand, said stand having a trackformed in a circular shape, said track comprising an upper horizontallydisposed track section and a lower horizontally disposed track sectionextending approximately in a parallel direction towards each other andjoined together at their end portions forming a continuous circulartrack structure, said end portions each being provided with springmembers for guiding said cam into desired track, said motor having meansfor moving said cam upon said track for carrying said housing into acircular direction.

2. In a structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein, said housing isadapted to carry an element for dispersion of air during operation ofsaid implement.

3. In a structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein said spring membersare provided with locking means for locking said springs in desiredposition.

4. In a structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein said implement isprovided with a heat producing structure, and with dispersing meansmovable in said circular direction for spreading heat in a larger areaof space.

5. In a structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein the front section ofsaid implement is provided with a net arrangement carrying a heatproducing structure, said wherein said heat producing structure adaptedto be moved within said circular direction for dispersing heat 5 into alarger area of space during operation of said implement.

6. In a structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein said implement isprovided with a fan-element and a heat producing structure operable incombination with each other for being moved simultaneously upon saidtrack to effect dispersion in said circular direction.
